- You're right, it is Ryu. He has the best combined chance against
- any given opponent. He does however, have two "natural enemies"
- namely Zangief and Sagat. Zangief can be dealt with through A LOT
- of well timed fireballs and basically nasty defensive play. Sagat
- on the other hand really has Ryu's number. A basic, unimaginative
- pattern Sagat can beat even master Ryu's. Really. A standard
- fireball, fireball uppercut pattern with minor interspertions of
- kicks and Tiger knees will beat Ryu. The only effective technique
- I have seen against Sagat, is a lot of close range attacks, and a
- shameless exploitation of his relatively poor throw. The above
- comments are made under the assumption that you are fighting a
- non-foolish Sagat (a patient and well timed Sagat who does not allow
- himself to be kicked out of uppercuts). Unless you really have
- seen some amazing Ryu technique to beat Sagat, please do not respond.
- I am addressing those who have truly mastered the game so don't
- respond with the brilliant revelation that you can kick Sagat's arm
- during a high fireball. Basically, do not insult my intelligence
- or experience by restating anything even vaguely obvious. Thank you.
